#G36C

Photo Of The Day, or the Heckler & Koch of the day, is the G95K. Here seen with German Special Forces KSK and a quick burst of 5.56mm NATO in the air. The Heckler & Koch G95K (HK416) has a barrel length of 14.5″.

In this Photo Of The Day, someone even pixelated the patches before the photo was released. Well, it’s not often we get to see any pictures at all from the German Special Unit GSG9 ( Grenzschutzgruppe 9), so we’re thankful for anything. The unit was cool before most of the readers of this blog were born.

After the success of the Mark23 special, Jake from 1911 Syndicate asked if I would help him cover the HK G36C.  Unknown to me, Jake had linked up with SK Arms who was bringing up not one, but two G36s.  Happy to help wherever I was needed, I packed up the truck and headed out to the desert once again.

You all know about the H&K G36. For all the good and bad out there about the gun, it is very difficult for US Citizens to have a G36. Well Tom Bostic of Tommy Built is not only making G36s for the masses, he is making pistol G36s with his own injection molded receivers called the T36.

During September 2017 there is a large Military exercise in Sweden called Aurora 17.

Whether you are a HK UMP, XM8 orG36 fan – or a Star Wars superfan (or both) – the builds and conversion services from Tom Bostic and crew will not surprise you. TommyBuilt offers up some of the best HK “clones” of the polymer machine gun and sub machine gun models made outside of Germany. The price to entry can be steep – like the majority of the Keckler & Koch world, but the quality is nothing but top tier.

A few postcards landed on our doorstep and we feel obliged to share them.

TFB is proud to add a new rifle to the list that the Finnish Police are using: AR-15. To our knowledge we are first to report this.

Following the terror attacks in Frankfurt, Hanover, Würzburg, Ansbach and Berlin it is clear that more and more of the regional German Police Forces are getting reinforcements in terms of 5,56×45 mm carbines.
